Thanks – that was very helpful information. I have prepared a chart to help me whilst booking – to assess my risk factor. Could you do something like that e.g. class wise and based on hours prior to cancellation – that would give us a better idea. Thanks once again for the information.

– If it is eTicket – Old ticket is valid one you can carry that – If it is Counter ticket then you will have to go to the railway station and fill the cancellation form for partially cancellation and they will provide you New ticket. In this case OLD ticket + NEW ticket both will be valid as PNR will be same. But in case if they provide you new ticket with new PNR number on it then New ticket will only be considered as Valid one.

No refund on Tatkal Ticket cancellation. But the tips is here: If you really dont want to travel then do not cancel ticket now because any how you are not going to get any refund. Tips: 1. Lets wait for train to come to your railway station. If train is late more than 30 minutes then immediately file tdr with reason “Train is Late” in this case you will get refund (70-100%)

2. Let train come to your station and go. After one hour from train departed, file the TDR with reason “Train Coach Seat Was Damaged” in this case if it gets approved then you might get refund.

Its true Ankit. Government of India does not allow private players to enter in railways and then fleeces its nationals, in particular middle and lower middle class, by arbitrary increase in fare/charges. A middle class Indian national does not have any alternate for long distances hence have no escape from this arbitrariness. Why Indian Railways cannot be booked under “The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969”?

With all due respect, charges of trains is still 10 times cheaper than buses.So why complaining if they are increasing the price in order to provide better facilities. Please get rid of the mentality of freebies. It will hurt us in long run.
